Hi,
I recently bought from a china website a star a2000 but the gps didn't worked so far, all other funcitons works fine but not the gps.
I entered in the factory mode by turning the phone pressing the buttons power + volume up. When I tested the gps I got the message gps failed! (-8).
The problem is that the phone never get the gps fix.
My colleague that bought the same phone bought the same device and when we tested the gps the issue was the same, gps failed! (-8)
We disassembled his device and in the back top of the phone where usually the devices have the gps hardware but there is nothing there.
If someone has faced an issue like this, or found an workaround, please share.

You must go outside, and wait aprox. 10 minutes. For me it worked!
Well Cristivsb, looks like you are the luck one that got the hardware inside your phone, mine a2000 so as my friend's a2000 have not gps hardware inside. I did a trip by car and put it in the console of the car with clear view of the sky, it took more than 2 hours to find satellites but nothing, that is the reason why my colleague openned his one and noticed the gps hardware was not there.
Does anyone has the same issue?
Thanks
Sorry to hear that. Can you please tell me, on the back of the phone package, it is written in English or in Chinese?
> aGPS settings > Select Profile = Google (not Nokia)
It depends which maufacturer you got it from. Looks like a lot of these Chinese manufacturers are cutting corners when putting these things together to either save money or to be able to sell them at a lower price.
There are some A2000's with capacitive screens instead of the resistive screens which is stated on the specs. And there are also some with larger capacities.
The GPS on my A2000 seems to work fine, just having some trouble with the wifi (it works, but only when it wants to) and the 3.5mm jack isn't giving stereo output.
A great phone nonetheless.
Do you mind saying where you got the phone from?
Well, I don't think it is good since mine is without god or capacitive screen. But the problem was the dealer, avoid to buy at chinabuye.com they don't care about customer complaints.
I fixed mine by replacing it by HTC Sensation, more expensive but really works.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I have the same problem!
My phone can't get an GPS fix. I tried it with the A-GPS Nokia server and the A-GPS Google server. I even tried 3rd party software.
Bought it one week ago from ebay, maybe the newer phones come without GPS hardware? I already contacted the seller, waiting for a response.
Star A2000
Hello everyone, i have Star A2000, it works great for me, wifi, gps etc are working... I want to ask is has anyone here know how to improve its performance especially in games? What about custom ROMS? Is it advisable to root this phone? i had read some articles that rooting can improve performance and battery life, can someone tell or teach me how or has someone done rooting A2000? is there a video tutorial about it??
Many thanks...
Nope, i've got a GPS receiver. But it's not very fast! A fake Sirfstar III gps module called: Sirf III. It's working
@jeymund.
I rooted my device today using: "Visionary-R14"
Use the search button on XDA and have fun.

EDIT: Ok, here is your link to download visionary: http://www.4shared.com/get/fJ_C7nEx/MoDaCo_Visionary_Plus_r14.html
1. Copy the file to the memory card of your mobile phone.
2. disconnect your phone from the PC.
3. Open file manager on your phone.
4. Go to your file and install it.
5. after installing, go to homecreen and open your menu.
6. Go to settings > applications > Development > and check "USB Debugging"
7. now again, go to homecreen and open your menu.
8. Open the visionary application in your menu.
9. Click on TEMP ROOT NOW and wait.. (Dont do anything)
10 after finishing, wait a few (10) seconds and click: "Attempt Permroot now" Now you'll see a massage. allow root acces, but within 8 seconds. (should take at least 30 sec's, but dont do anything!)
11. After auto-reboot, your phone is rooted.
is your phone also Star A2000? I'm afraid to do rooting because it might bricked the unit, what are the advantages or what have you noticed after you've rooted your A2000?
help plz
Hello, i have a qouestion, i got phone from chine, its look like replica of hTC,
i dont have any sw for him, i canot sync it with my computer because i dont have driver for usb
- i can say only that i have java , it is dual SIM mobile, 3MP kamera, FM, Bluetooth, wifii, touch screen,
on baterry and back case it writen that model is X9, but i search the web and there is no hTC model X9, i tray with chinaphonesuite, and a downloaded many driver but with no succes
so i need help plz, is there someone with similar problem !!!!!!??????
sorry for my bad english
I use Z4 for rooting A2000 and A1000 have had no problems, although some of the Mobile unlce tools (from china) do not see this as root, 99% of tools do like root explorer etc and I have had no problem - my only advice is make sure you always keep recovery or system partition working, never flash recovery then immediately install rom - always test check things out slowly so one partition can fix the other if needed.
Also the only difference between the A2000 and A1000 I know of is the touch screen A2k is resistive and A1k is capactive so the Roms will work on each other as far as I am aware but you need to keep your original kernel as that contains the driver for the touchscreen (the kernel is in the boot.ini file within the rom - so you can usually just swap the boo.ini over)

You need to go to a site i am not yet allowed to post a link to, to get software google m44 mobile uncle - use a translator to read about your x9 phone, you will need to create an account (hit use bugmenot.com) as it took me a long time to even manage to log in - you need to open one browser tab translated and one normal (so links can be clicked)
- Can an admin please remove my restrictions, I know I am new - but I know more about these phones than just about any other english speaking person I have met and can offer some supoort, roms and tools for the star a1000, a2000 and maybe shed light on the X8, A3000 and A5000. Thanks

Hi guys I have a fix for this - I am currently posting to get my level up before I make a thread covering everything I know on these phones, the roms the recovery, rooting and fixes - keep an eye out!
a2000.......in china.....why I've never heard this device......

improved performance?
i m planning to buy a china android phone. i read a review the A2000 has sluggish performance. does EVERYTHING works? does flashing new rom and other updates can improve its performance.
How can I take the 'Android Phone' cover off?
@ Eduardo Logan:
Please tell me how you were able to get the bottom back cover off. The one with "Android Phone" printed on it. I don't like to use a lot of force trying to pull things like this apart.
I need to take my phone apart because I have shattered the glass plate between touch digitizer and LCD...
{edit}
I found somewhere that my A2000 is similar to the A1000, but with resistive touchscreen.
This video: http://youtu.be/8fu8W3HQtSQ shows how to disassemble the A1000, but also the A2000.
{edit}
Mine also doesn't have a GPS chip, however there is already a reserved parking place for it .
The funny thing is that mine without GPS was actually more expensive than the A2000 with GPS, because the box (and Focalprice) states that it has an AMOLED screen. It really is just an ordinary LCD, so don't get fooled!
Another question: I can't seem to find a way to make a complete NAND backup, which I like to do before I start to play with the wonderful tools of Byteshertz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18046607#post18046607
I already installed Titanium backup, but it seems to make a backup of the apps. The recovery menu only seems to allow me to restore, but not to save a backup...
How did you guys do it?
BTW: I used z4root to root the phone, which worked flawlessly, the second time...
Thanks in advance,
Hans
Hi,
just wanted to add to this thread
I just got a A2000 phone, paid 111$ USD including shipping to Canada
the screen is resistive, 800x480 (image is very nice, touch is like other resistive so not really the best but very usable once you get the feel for it)
GPS works, locked on position in seconds !
it has an antenna for some kind of TV function but all I get is static, I don't think it works with DVB but not sure
the dual sim function looks likes you have two lines on one phones, you even have separate reception quality meters
the back as a nice little flip stand so you can rest it upright on a table
it came with two batteries 3.7v 1500 mah, you have to remove the battery to change the SIMs or the microsd card which is VERY annoying
for the price it is an excellent phone, especially a business that needs smartphones to every employee
Hey all!
First time posting here!
Have read alot of posts about SMDT, but no help on my problem.
So here it is:
I broke my Star x15i screen recently and bough a new one. New one is said to need a never pair on draivers. They gave those to me.
I followed exactly the guide (really hard to understand this Google Translate Chinese -> English thing).
Took battery out of device, connected DEVICE (Start x15i with replaced LCD)
Installed Cable drivers (MS Win 7 64bit), started 'sp multi-port download tool', Choose Data Source and DA file name. Also chose SCATTER file.
MainSensor NONE, Sub Sensor NONE. Lcd LP043LLYU04A.
Start all. Place battery inside phone
Then i hear this tõtõn (Device connected to Windows sound) and 2-3 seconds after that the other sound (device disconnected).
And then the numbers keeps going, but nothing is loading.
Since no outside image links, i made an attachment
Whats up damn it

You need to click start (flashing) and then connect your phone. Then you will most likely see DA 100% and get an error just like i did. I just can't manage to flash new lcd driver on my MTK 6592 Star N9800 phone.
Hello, first of all: Unfortunately I have to work with the Google Translator. Therefore, the translation may not be entirely clean.
I am looking for a smartphone that can be rooted. It must definitely allow the screen to be mirrored, as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlOzI7eAfvE
Unfortunately, it seems that very few devices can do this, and connected hardware such as a remote control or the touch screen should work at the same time.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro, for example, can do it all. The Huawei P20 Pro can only mirror the display, but the touch screen and remote control do not work.
I connected a USB-C docking station which also charges the phone.
Now the Huawei devices can no longer be rooted. But I need root to automate various settings via Tasker & Co. Also some settings have to be made that are not possible without root.
Question: Which phones are still able to mirror the screen and can use the touch functionality and a remote control?
Thanks and greetings from Hamburg

That's a really interesting concept you have here, I want to try!
But I need more info about what he's doing and how he's doing. First of all what he said in the vid, I'm French and chose to learn spanish instead of German (sorry fella), so I didn't quite understand what he said. I think the video isn't a tutorial but just a demo of how it works. I'd like to know also what kind of cable he used in the video and where he plugged it in? (USB port, HDMI, ...?).
If you have any extra info it'd be great.
(For your question, idk which phone can do that but I'm quite sure that it's an app allows the guy in the vid to do what he does)
I'll come back with more info about that soon
Have a good day

A Huawei Mate 10Pro ( kept in a docking station ) gets connected via HDMI with Rasperri PI 7'' - touchscreen device.

Sorry for the late reply. I've actually finished everything so far. I took a Samsung Galaxy S9 for the project. I installed the crDroidAndroid Rom in version 6.7. Unfortunately, the only thing that doesn't seem to work with this ROM is the automatic boot process when the device is loaded. The developers of this ROM obviously cannot help here either. I've been in contact here for a week, but there is no solution to the problem in sight, so I have to start all over again. With other ROMs I can edit the /system/bin/lpm file so that the device starts automatically when it is supplied with power. this crDroidAdndorid ROM has obviously integrated the Charger from the Pixel 4. There doesn't seem to be a solution to this.
